How Yamcha has been misrepresented and ruined
I want to start by saying that Yamcha is one of if not my absolute favorite character in Dragon Ball and it pains me how much he's been humiliated and ruined in recent years. Now there's plenty of people who will say " but Yamcha was always a joke lol " or that he was always weak but they are missing the point entirely. While it's true Yamcha was never as strong as Goku and has had a lot of losses in battle he was still a character who was strong in his own right and even had moments where he was amazingly powerful in battle and surprised everyone. Yamcha was never as strong as Goku or Roshi in OG Dragon Ball but he was the first person to ever hurt Goku in a fight ( even if Goku was hungry this is still extremely noteworthy. ) Yamcha was also able to give Tien a pretty good fight even though he did lose and in fact he showed he was always a very very capable and powerful fighter throughout OG DB and even DBZ. It may be " filler " but it still counts as important moments and victories
